A departmental store had 200 speakers for sale during a 7-day period. The line graph shows the number of speakers left unsold at the end of each day. The number of speakers left unsold at the end of Day 7 was not shown.
- On which day was the greatest number of speakers sold? Give your answer in number. (Eg 1)
- The average number of speakers sold for the last two days was 18. How many speakers were sold on Day 7?
(a)
To find the greatest increase in the number of tickets sold, look for the steepest decreasing slope.
On Day 3, the number of speakers sold was the greatest number.
(b)
Total number of speakers sold on the last two days
= 2 x 18
= 36
Total number of speakers sold on Day 6 = 10
Total number of speakers sold on Day 7
= 36 - 10
= 26
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) 26
